PROCESSIONAL HYMN. 



QNWARD, Christian soldiers, 
^^ Marching as to war, 
With the cross of Jesus 

Going on before! 
Christ the royal Master 
Leads against the foe; 
Forward into battle, 
See, His banners go, 
Onv/ard, Christian soldiers^ 

Marching as to war, 
With the cross of Jesus 
Going on before ! 

At the sign of triumph 

Satan's host doth flee; 
On, then. Christian soldiers. 

On to victory! 
Hell's foundations quiver 

At the shout of praise; 
Brothers, lift your voices, 

Loud your anthems raise! 
Onward, etc. 

Like a mighty army 

Moves the Church of God; 
Brothers, we are treading 

Where the saints have trod; 
We are not divided. 

All one Body we. 
One in hope and doctrine, 

One in charity. 
Onward, etc. 

(Continued on next page.) 



PROCESSIONAL mm^—Co7itin7ced. 

Crowns and thrones may perish, 

Kingdoms rise and wane, 
But the Church of Jesus 

Constant will remain; 
Gates of hell can never 

'Gainst that Church prevail; 
We have Christ's own promise, 

And that can not fail. 
Onward, tic. 

Onward, then, ye people! 
Join our happy throng! 
Blend with ours your voices 

In the triumph song! 
Glory, laud, and honor, 
Unto Christ the King; 
This through countless ages 
Men and angels sing. 
Onward, Christian soldiers, 

Marching as to war, 
With the cross of Jesus 
Going on before! 




^ The ministsr shall read the following sentences of 
Scripture: 

The eternal God is Thy refuge, and underneath are the 
everlasting arms. Deut. xxxiii, 27. 

Happy art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O 
people saved by the Lord, the shield of thy help, and who 
is the sword of thy excellency! Deut. xxxiii, 29. 

^^ Then shall the minister saj, 
The Lord be with you. 
Answer. And with thy spirit.

the Lord' s Prayer. 

/^UR Father, who art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy Name, 
^^ Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, 
as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And 
forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass 
against us. And lead us not into temptation; But deliver 
us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and 
the glory, for ever and ever. Amen. 

f\ Then likewise the minister shall say, 
O Lord, open thou our lips. 
Answer. And our mouth shall show forth thy praise. 

^ Here, all standing up, the mi7iister shall say, 

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy 
Ghost ;

world without end. Amen. 



Psalm 144. Benedictus Dominus. 

DLESSED be the Lord my strength: who teacheth my 
■'-' hands to war, and my fingers to fight: 

2. My hope and my fortress, my castle and deliverer, 
my defender in whom 1 trust: who subdueth my people that 
is under me. 

3. Lord, what is man, that thou hast such respect unto 
him: or the son of man, that thou so regardest him? 

4. Man is like a thing of nought: his time passeth away 
like a shadow. 

5. Bow thy heavens, O Lord, and come down: touch 
the mountains, and they shall smoke. 

6. Cast forth thy lightning, and tear them: shoot out 
thine arrows, and consume them. 

7. Send down thine hand from above: deliver me, and 
take me out of the great waters, from the hand of strange 
children; 

8. Whose mouth talketh of vanity: and their right hand 
is a right hand of wickedness. 

9. 1 will sing a new song unto thee, O God: and sing 
praises unto thee upon a ten-stringed lute. 

10. Thou hast given victory unto kings: and hast 
delivered David thy servant from the peril of the sword, 

11. Save me, and deliver me from the hand of strange 
children: whose mouth talketh of vanity, and their right 
hand is a right hand of iniquity: 

12. That our sons may grow up as the young plants: 
and that our daughters may be as the polished corners of 
the temple; 

13. That our garners may be full and plenteous with all 
manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands, 
and ten thousands m our streets; 

14. That our oxen may be strong to labour, that there 
be no decay: no leading into captivity, and no complaining 
in our streets. 

15. Happy are the people that are in such a case: yea, 
blessed are the people who have the Lord for their God.

IV/FY soul doth magnify the Lord: and my spirit hath rejoiced 
•'■*•*■ in God my Saviour. 

2. For he hath regarded the lowHness of his handmaiden. 

3. For behold from henceforth: all generations shall call 
me blessed. 

4. For he that is mighty hath magnified me: and holy 
is his Name. 

5. And his mercy is on them that fear him: throughout 
all generations. 

6. He hath showed strength with his arm: he hath 
scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. 

7. He hath put down the mighty from their seat: and 
hath exalted the humble and meek. 

8. He hath filled the hungry with good things: and the 
rich he hath sent empty away. 

9. He remembering his mercy hath holpen his servant 
Israel: as he promised to our forefathers Abraham and his 
seed forever.

Suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and 
buried: He descended into Hell; The third day he rose 
again from the dead: He ascended into Heaven, and sitteth 
on the right hand of God the Father Almighty: From thence 
he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

Thou, Lord, their Captain in the well-fought fight. 
Thou, in the darkness drear, the one true Light. Alleluia. 

Oh, may Thy soldiers, faithful, true, and bold, 

Fight as the saints who nobly fought of old.

O blest communion, fellowship divine! 

We feebly struggle, they in glory shine; 

Yet all are one in Thee, for all are Thine. Alleluia. 

And when the strife is fierce, the warfare long, 

Steals on the ear the distant triumph-song. 

And hearts are brave again, and arms are strong. Alleluia. 

The golden evening brightens in the west; 

Soon, soon to faithful warriors cometh rest; 

Sweet is the calm of Paradise the blest. Alleluia. 

But lo! there breaks a yet more glorious day; 

The saints triumphant rise in bright array; 

The King of glory passes on His way. Alleluia. 

From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast, 
Through gates of pearl streams in the countless host. 
Singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Alleluia,

r^ OOD People, We are gathered here in the Name 
^-* and presence of Almighty God, to dedicate a memorial 
of the noble works of which we have heard with our ears, 
and our fathers have declared unto us that God did in 
their days and in the old time before them. For they got 
not the land in possession through their own sword, neither 
was it their own arm that helped them; but God's right hand 
and God's arm and the light of God's countenance, because 
He had a favour unto them. Wherefore I beseech you to 
call upon God our Father, through our Lord Jesus Christ, 
that he would assist us in this our present undertaking, and 
in all other works undertaken for the glory of God and the 
good of this nation. 



^Then, all standiyig, the Minister shall say :

^^ Thy kingdom come. 1 hy will be done on earth, as 
it is in Heaven. Give us this day or daily bread. And 
forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass 
against us. And lead us not into temptation; But deliver us 
from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the 
glory, for ever and ever. Amen. 

%Thcn shall the Minister add these Collects and Prayers: 

r\ LORD, without whom our labour is but lost, and with 
^^ whom thy little ones go forth as the mighty; be present 
to bless all works which are undertaken according to thy 
will, and especially that to which v/e set our hands this day, 
granting to us, thy labourers, a pure intention, patient faith, 
sufficient success upon earth, and the bliss of serving thee in 
heaven; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 

WOUCHSAFE, O God, to bestow thy blessing upon the 
* Society of the Colonial Wars, and grant that the Church 
and Commonwealth of this land may benefit by their labours, 
and that the members may not only perceive, and faithfully 
fulfill their duties as citizens of this country, but also attain 
to the privileges of citizenship in thy kingdom eternal in the 
heavens; through the merits of thy Son, our King and 
Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen. 

r\ GOD, our refuge and strength, God of nations, and God 
^^ of battles, who dost plant the peoples in and dost pluck 
them out. We yield unto thee most high praise and hearty 
thanks for the wonderful grace and virtue declared in our 
forefathers, who laid the foundations both of the Church and 
of the State in this land, amid great hardships and perils of 
war and famine and pestilence. We bless and magnify thy 
holy Name for the memory of their constancy and courage, 



even unto death, in the lonely wilderness; and we beseech 
thee, O God of our fathers, that we, who have entered into 
the fruit of their labours and sufferings, may be enabled by the 
g^race of Thy Holy Spirit to serve Thee all our days with like 
fortitude, faith, and fidelity to the end that peace and happi- 
ness, truth and justice, relig^ion and piety, mav be established 
amono- us for all ,!3:enerations; throueh Jesus Christ our Lord, 
to whom, with Thee and the Holy Ghost, be all honour and 
g:lory, world without end. Amen.

Joseph Belt, and the Chaplain shall say: 

r\H behalf of the Societv of Colonial Wars in the District 
^-^ of Columbia, 1 do dedicate this boulder, erected by the 
said Society, to the memory of Joseph Belt. fJWe yield 
Thee hearty thanks, most merciful Father, that it hast 
pleased Thee to place among: men Thy servant of strong: arm 
and Christian voice whose works helped to make possible the 
building: of our nation and the spread of Thy teachin,g:s. We 
thank Thee also for those of his children who have followed 
in his pathway of Christian religion and civic virtue. And 
humbly we beseech Thee to ,g:rant, that by Thy g^race, all his 
worthy qualities may be born again in each succeeding genera- 
tion to the glory of Thy Holv Name and the perpetuation of 
our country, through Jesus Christ our Lord. 



^Then the Bishop, or the appointed Minister, shall let them 
depart with this Blessing: 

'X'HE God of peace, who brought again from the dead our 
■*■ Lord Jesus Christ, the Great Shepherd of the Sheep, 
through the blood of the everlasting covenant; Make you

that which is well pleasing in His sight; through Jesus
